In celebrating the opening of
tha n'w electrio interurban line
between Toriland and Salem on
February 18m, the latter city
enteriaiiiod numerous delegationa
from the various citiea of tie
Willamette Valley. Over a hun
dred business wen went from Port
land in tbe special cars. Great
enthusiasm was aroused by the
speeches of both visitors and uleui
men, and all in emphasizing the
necessity for wide-awake, aggres-l
eive advertising to develope both
city and country. Salem con ten:
plates an immediate campaign aa
a result.
Washington's Birthday had
twice its usual .interest and sig
nificance in Portland tbia year in
account of this being also the city's
first observance of "Rose Plaating
Day." Archbishop Christie par
ticipated in the exercises in con
nection with planting the thous
, ands of roses which were borne , to
tbe parks by the school children.
Vigorous two year old bushes were
et Out which will bloom generously
by the first of June, for the Rose
festival. ' A distinctive feature of
tbe grand parade planned for the
Festival will be the entry of floats
from differei t cities in the State
several have already designated
floats illustrating some particular
product of their section. This
attractive representation will doubt-
Jess attract many visitors tD these
communities.
A branch of the work of the
Portland . Commercial Club which
many people know nothing about
tbe maintenance of an Oregon In
formation Bureau in Los Angeles,
which has been wonderfully sue
cessful in its efforts to so interest
California tourists that 'they may
return to their eastern homes by
way of Oregon. Oregon literature
is distributed from several of the
most centrally-located offices in
Los Angeles and it is eagerly taken.
The colonists rates, and particular
ly the $30 fare from the great mid
dle West to all stations in the
"Beaver State" is emphasized in
every publication given out. East
em lectures are also employed to a
limited extent and Mr. Robert J.
JJeyn Jr., of New York City, has
just reported a moat successful
series, with audiences frequently
the Mouinouth A. C. and further
more we do cot have to play under
an uHsumeil name to get games or
play ball which Referee 8tine an
nounced before the game as M A C.
We are willing to back our word
that we cau dvfeat McMinnvillo 2
to 1 on nnr flor with an unintr
ebted official which is the way to
play the game, then leaving uh a
good margin to play for exercise.

A large crowd was in evidence
at the carnival Saturday night a
special car bringing Dallas and
Independence people. ; The first
prize was won by Miss Agnes
Clark who represented Martha
Washington. Prizes also being
won by the. gold dust twins, Lester
Lindsay and Glen Work and by
Pari Percival and Kersey Eldridge
in Turkish garb. '
Dr. Nehbras and wife returned

The Dr. reports weather at the

M. L. Baldwin was up from

igin with and by c ) iluiip the omi
j pany will not Lavs to incorporate
for more than tOuOO, which will be
; ample to build, eijuip and furi.inh
the uite for all ailditiouul buiidinj-s
that will bo needed for several
years.
The putting up of a cannery
here will mean an advane in tl.e
price of land faotn J5 to to $23 per
acre of ail land adjacent 'to this
town and a proportionate advance
in the price of all farm lands al
fected ly business of tho cannery.
This has been proven at Corvallis,
where work has only just begun on
the strength of the canning
industry.
Tomatoes are the base of tho esti-
matuB made by the Hastings people
in determining earning capacity
of the plants installed by" theuv.
We have several thousands of acres
of land along the Willamette suit
able for tomato culture ana as
the contract." : price usual for
tomatoes ia $13.00 a ton, -there is
a good profit in raising them as
the smallest yield we can expect
here would be the average of other
localities, 400 bushels, or t'21 tons
per acre. One gardener at Albany
claims to have marketed 1500
bushels from one acre . last year.
The $5000 cannery can' use about
200 ao:es of tomatoes during the
season and then be ready for the
other varieties of fruit. . ,
It 5b to be hoped that there will
be a big turn out of farmers at the
meeting for it is of the greatest im
portance to them that the cannery
be a go. Shares in the incorpor
avion will be placed at a popular
price bo that all the farmers may
haye a ehanoe to purchace.
This is no skin game by outside
people comiug and asking for
bonus, bat will be a home company
and owned and controlled by home
people and no one will be liable for
more than the amount of the stock
subscribed. Mr. , Searles, the
special agent for the Hastings
company claims that if the con
tracts' can be filled for all ,. the
tomatoes that can be handled thi6
year by the cannery, it w ill be able
to declare a handsome dividend
and that with good management,
it should pay for itself every ; year.

Trade with your home merchant
when possible as all the money
you pay to him helps to build , up
your home town and lessen your
taxes. The mail order house don't
help you to get rid of your surplus
eggs and other farm produce. Your
home merchant owes it to you as
well as himsolf to make you a
reasonable price on what he has to
sell, for he can, and no doubt will
give you the same article for the
same money it will cost you from
the mail order house. Trys him

It is never too early in . the sea
son to begin to defend the poultry
from the vermin If mother hens
will care for the young, begin now
to clean up and prepare the . brood
coops for early spring. A good
coat of crude petroleum inside and
out will destroy all possibility of
lurking vermin in these coops, and
liquid lice paint well rubbed into
the roosts and the crevices free
these from infestation. They begin
their campaign the first warm days
of spring; get ahead of this by ap
plying the liquid lice killer several
time9 before thq warm days come.
